we're always running scared but holding knives
If only there really were a device or a medicine capable of forming telepathy between them; alas, Isla is left to let Remi richochet through his emotions in the silence that yawns between them. Only when he makes his decision does she nod to him, inhaling deeply and letting it out again. "Alright. I'll... pass the message on," she says, before glancing to her watch. "We're almost out of time. Come on..."
And so it's not with a bang but with a whimper that Remi will topple from humanity back into his wendigo state - and the following 48 hours will make however he feels on that come-down seem like the date he never got to go on with Isla. Ronin does come for him the next evening, but is informed that the wendigo is unavailable and to return in a day or so.
By the time Isla is able to properly administer another dose of her serum and escort the wendigo out to the entrance of the medical wing, the doctor is ashen faced and unable to even properly look at Remi. Make no mistake - it isn't fear or disgust in her expression, but anger and shame on his behalf.
